One word, expectations.
Even though I do not follow BB very closely, I posted before the playoffs started, in this very thread, that the final would be OKC v Miami again. The injury to Westbrook changed that and let the Spurs have a chance. But otherwise, no one really expected to see the old men in the finals and the fact that they are up in the series is a pretty big story. Again, the expectation was that Miami would be here and San Antonio would be sitting at home.
